I visited here on the 2nd August 2025 for an event called Rum n Reggae.Was very busy and what I liked was all proceeds from the day were going to Charity! Small pub with an outside area with Tables and Chairs under a Gazebo cover. Friendly place was extremely busy when I attended DJ's on the day great, and superb music.

My word,a local pub without the backing of a chain and it's the best pub in Bexleyheath. Get out of the stagnant Wetherspoons and enjoy the comfort of a real pub with real people and real atmosphere

Worth visiting! Went for first time on a Thursday evening in summer 2022, then again two weeks later. Consists of three rooms knocked together to form long, wide L-shape room that is nicely decorated and furnished, with plenty of clear floor space in middle part. Beer and other drinks decent and similar price as pubs nearby. Staff helpful and pleasant, and other customers (mostly youngish) were almost all* pleasant, welcoming and friendly. Sat in area at short end of the L. Furniture there comprises two low tables and two high tables, which is probably too much. Because area also gives access to toilets and beer garden. Resulting traffic made it feel cramped, esp for those sitting nearest the back. So, stayed at bar in the middle room on second visit. Karaoke with Debbie on a Thursday night excellent, EVERY THURSDAY 8PM - 11.30 PM. She has a great-sounding system with no glitches (such as out of sync or frozen lyrics) and you just give her your name then tell her what song you want when you're called up. Works a treat, super efficient, fast and no one misses their turn. There is a pay and display car park with space for twenty-five or so cars out the back. *A £100 penalty will be claimed by well known parking sharks Britannia Parking in event of any transgression!* But the parking ticket price can be refunded towards drinks at the bar, on production of the counterfoil. Note that lighting is poor in the car park and it's deserted at night. *The only real negative - another customer (a karaoke regular, so I was told - so you might be safe on nights other than Thursday) who often accosts the DJ and other customers. Apparently, some find him amusing.

Nice local worth re trying (had some financial problems and closed for a while). Wine selection looks good but haven't tried. Beer range is reasonable, some crafts.

Great pub under new management. Nice new modern feel inside and large beer garden. Friendly staff and feels quite a friendly atmosphere in there.
